 My name is Karen Reid. I'm a former Air Force officer, retired about six years ago now. As a combat veteran, I did three tours overseas. I left a lot of friends, not necessarily over there, but a lot of friends came home in boxes. Even if we find just one little piece of somebody, just to bring them home, that's enough. It's just an incredible and emotional sight to be working on, and really interesting to be working on it with veterans. I would say working on it with a bunch of archaeologists, we wouldn't experience it the same way as we are doing it now. Learning the sort of shared experiences the veterans have now for the servicemen that lost their lives back in World War II, it's really interesting to get that perspective on things and learn about it that way, rather than an academic way, really. It's really, it's really, really cool. I started AVAR in 2016 in order to help veterans with archaeology. Archaeology is really similar to both the training and the deployed environment, and a lot of veterans when they get out miss those things, and want to work around other veterans again, and want a mission that really matters. The reason that we've made such an effort to include members of the local community, British veterans as well, is because we really view this as a site that's both American and British. It's such a powerful story that these people fought together during the war. We were allies during the war, and we're still able to work together to recover the remains of Americans who were killed during that war and who crashed into British soil. So I think this is really, it's a shared site, and I want it to be a shared experience for both sides.
